After configuring LAGG (Failover) your NAS4Free instance is not reachable.

This can happen if you assigned an ip address to a network adapter (bce0, bce1, …) prior you switched to LAGG. You can simply fix this by opening /etc/rc.conf and removing all assinged ip addresses to single adapters.

I was trying to install NAS4Free (FreeBSD) on a HP ProLiant DL380G7. I entered Configuration Utility for the RAID Controller (HP Smart Array P410i) and removed all logical drives, as there is no need for a hardware raid if you’re going to use ZFS. I assumed no logical drives = JBOD but I was wrong.

The HP Smart Arry P410i does not support JBOD Configuration. HP seems to be aware of this so they created a…hmm… kind of a workaround. Simply boot up the latest smartstart package and start the smart storage configuration utility. In there you can create an array with RAID0, there is even a button for it.
